Description
In this episode, we take the framework we build from our contest selection analysis and lay the foundation to apply it to how we backtest our new SaberSim features, sliders, and models. SaberSim CEO Andy, founder Matt, and Data Scientist Elijah discuss:
How contest simulation can make our research and analysis more quantitative
How a contest simulation works, both in theory and as a technical implementation
Issues with sim bias, when the same simulations are used to build lineups and “grade” them
Our ongoing project to backtest our sliders in the lineup builder
How we can improve our efficiency for future tests by re-engineering our code and improving our infrastracture
